But I don't think it would make sense to be scared of sleep even if it were otherwise.

Well, I can't follow your reasoning. It seems to be 'just go ahead because that's the way things are.' If you accept my claim that according to Dust Theory "everything outside your awareness is in flux" then my arguments should follow naturally.

Also, I would like to point out that humans may be somewhat aware of the physical world during sleep.
